Guided Debridement with the MolecuLight i:X™

Clinical Synopsis: Patient treated their diabetic foot ulcer with an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment for two months prior to seeking treatment from a wound care practitioner. Patient understanding of bacteria, infections, and the pathway to amputation was lacking. The patient was shown images of their wound throughout the MolecuLight i:X guided debridement process. The simple image colour scheme (green = tissue, red = bacteria) facilitated patient education and emphasized the importance of regular debridement in a clinic setting.
